Fossil remains for this Dinosaur have
been found in Asia

Sanchusaurus
belongs
to the
ostrich-like
family
of
ornithomimid
dinosaurs.
These
animals
were
long-necked
meat-eaters
with
small
heads
and
mouths
that
were
evolving
into
beaks.
Sanchusaurus
was
discovered
in Japan
and,
since
only
part of
one bone
was
found,
some
scientists
aren?t
sure if
it
should
have its
own
name.
When
this
dinosaur
was
alive,
Japan
was
connected
to the
rest of
Asia and
dinosaurs
could
move
between
the two
areas.
It is
possible
that
this
dinosaur
is
actually
a
Gallimimus,
which
lived in
other
parts of
Asia at
the same
time.
